TL;DR: The analyses of lipid fractions have been found to be particularly useful in separating strains of Nocardia and Mycobacterium and are partly responsible for improvements in the classification of actinomycetes.

TL;DR: Bio-guided fractionation of the culture broth extract of Streptomyces asenjonii strain KNN 42.f recovered from an extreme hyper-arid Atacama Desert soil in northern Chile led to the isolation of three new bioactive β-diketones, characterized by HRESIMS and NMR analyses and tested for their antibacterial effect against a panel of bacteria.

TL;DR: In this paper, two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography was used to analyze methanolysates for the presence of the methyl esters of mycolic acids which are characteristic high molecular weight 3-hydroxy-2-alkyl fatty acids.

TL;DR: Large numbers of alkaliphilic streptomycetes isolated from a beach and dune sand system were dereplicated manually based on aerial spore mass, colony reverse and diffusible pigment colours formed on oatmeal agar, and on their capacity to produce melanin pigments on peptone-yeast extract-iron agar.

TL;DR: It is proposed that isolate C63T (CGMCC 4.6997T, = KACC 15425T) be classified as the type strain of Streptomyces deserti sp.
